How Hamilton missed the perfect comeback

The Mercedes driver lit up the German GP with his charge from 20th to third. EDD STRAW explains how he pulled off the recovery, and why Hamilton had reason to be kicking himself as he celebrated third place

Lewis Hamilton wasn't sure how to respond when asked whether he saw the metaphorical glass of his German Grand Prix charge from 20th on the grid to third as half-full or half-empty.

"Well, I don't really know how to answer that," he admitted. "I came from last, so to get on the podium is quite an achievement, so perhaps half-full."
